Aiko tracked down Toru and his right hand, Raidon through the streets of Tokyo. However, the two vampires managed to detect her and set a trap to capture her. Using an amulet created by the vampire witch Kumiko Ishihara, Toru depowered Aiko, turning herback into a regular girl. Toru broke Aiko's jaw and bit her, killing the former Slayer in the process. Afterwards, Toru tied Aiko's corpse from a building on which he wrote "Welcome to Tokyo" using Aiko's own blood as a warning sign for Buffy and her team of Slayers.
